Touch up paint for wheels

[martin]

I can’t find where the color of my wheels is stated. I think they are a shade of silver. I need touch up paint because my wife is a poor driver. The car is vapour blue, a 2024

Can you post a picture of your wheels?

I think we need to know which wheels you have... there are several available...

Here is the picture of the wheel and the damage that needs touch up paint.
thanks

Wheels look OEM to me. Have you checked with your dealer for touch up paint color and availability? Good luck!

That color should be "Carbonized Gray".

@martin,
While you're looking for paint, you should also look for local wheel repair in your area. Over the years I've used many shops and a lot of them come and go. What you have there, a good shop will be able to repair and repaint without taking the tire off the wheel. Try calling a few garages or even ask a dealer in your area. They probably have somebody or can point you in the right direction. Sometimes rash happens. We all try to be careful but stuff happens. Don't be too hard on your wife.

Its not a color. Its a two stage paint process. Base black and a silver on top. They dont sell a touch up for that color wheel and its not "carbonized gray". Its been this way since 2011.

Correct. I have those wheels and that is not Carbonized Gray.

So I have those wheels. Sorry to say a wheel repair shop will need to sand and mill that dent for a proper repair. There is no touch up. Then they will need to do a color match and respray the entire wheel. They can usually get really really close, but it probably won't be an exact match.

That's what the order guide calls it...

Go get you a $50 Ford paint pen in carbonized gray and see how well it matches. Let us know.

While it is not for me... just passing along the color name as Ford calls it in the order guide as well as on the configurator...

I agree with others, find a good shop that does wheel repairs. (I've got a guy for that)
